Event Directories Give You Something for Nothing

There’s an old saying that goes “There is no such thing as a free lunch.”

For the most part I agree – with one exception: event directories.

Event directories are an amazingly easy way to promote a public event, yet most event promoters don’t even know these sites exist, never mind take the time to list their events on directories.

What is an event directory?

An event directory is a free website that compiles and lists events. Some notable examples are Events in America and SocialVents. If you’ve ever searched for “things to do” while traveling to a new city, or if you’ve searched for specific events in the past, then you’ve probably seen sites like these.

The goal of an event directory is to get event hosts and promoters to list their events. The more events listed, the more visitors will come to the site. And more visits means more money for the directory site. It’s really that simple.
